This post is in response to the question asked by Nitisha at her blog The View from 5'2" - In Search For The Perfect Coffee In Bombay. So where do I get my favorite coffee in the city? (It's Mumbai, not Bombay for me though!) :)

Unlike Nitisha, I don't prefer reading at a quiet little coffee shop. That is my travelling time activity or the sheer boredom of travelling from Malad to Powai will kill me. Coffee shops are for really long conversations about anything and everything and nothing at all, with the closest of my friends. When alone, they are for quiet times between me and my Mac. :) Photos. Coffee. Silence. And I am blissfully lost in my own world. :)

So listing here the places where they know me well enough to get me my coffee without me asking for it. :)

Since dearest Nutties couldn't wait to see which house I'll get sorted into (someone missed the Pottermore early entry quiz.. tsk tsk :P) - Possibly the best quiz of my life. I was so fucking nervous!!!! :O Not even as nervous as my college placements. LOL!

"Just because I own a DSLR doesn't mean I don't like my Sony Ericsson cellphone cam. Just because I own a zillion branded shoes, doesn't mean I don't wear Hill Road chappals. Just because I like my LBD doesnt mean I don't like my Natraj Market kurti's :D Just because I am fond of my Gucci Envy Me, doesn't mean I dislike the scent of Johnson & Johnson baby powder! :P AND just because I adore my Macbook, doesn't mean that I have issues with my more oftenly used Dell! Don't stereotype people on what they like to buy / own. :)"

Much debate happened offline but well ... it was self-explanatory wasn't it? :)

There is something that my sister told me a long time ago, which I had found amusing then, but somehow seems so damn right now a days!! LOL!

'Chaar log baatein banane lage... toh samjho tarakki ho gayi!'

If four people start gossiping about you, know that you have reached somewhere.

Anyway, on a brighter side, I am seriously contemplating getting a professional photography course - and I am so kicked about it! I have been longing to do this for so long, because as awesome I might be at selling / marketing stuff (even without the overrated MBA :P) - having my own studio is my ultimate dream. I will sleep out in the hall if it means converting my bedroom into a studio, is how much I want to do this. Keeping my fingers crossed. :)

Much love,

Annie.

P.S: Went for a shoot on the long weekend - St. Xavier's Malhar, Colaba Causeway and random street shots. Felt so good! :) I love my Nikon! :)

Remember that day when we sat in your car, parked just ahead of my bus stop. I was due to catch my bus anytime. But I didn't really want to because I was so fucked up. And that one shared Marlboro Light with you changed my life.

That's the thing about sharing I have learnt - sharing happiness is normal, sharing sorrow is something else. It creates a bond that's much deeper. You went from being a good friend to someone who knew not only the high but also the low of me.
